Tin Hau Temple on a boat, moored inside the Causeway Bay Typhoon Shelter.
The Floating Tin Hau Temple was established by a group of fisherman who rescued the statue of the goddess “Tin Hau” (天后) from Japanese forces during the World War II. It has been docked at its current location since 1955; its exact year of construction, however, is unknown. (Source)
The temple is dedicated to the "Triangular Island Goddess of Tin Hau Shrine of Peace". In October 2023, the temple found a final place on land near Victoria Park in front of the Tung Lo Wan Fire Station.
It is planned that the floating temple will be developed into a museum.
